Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.
    Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)

    Women have their heads in their hearts. Man seems to have been destined for a superior being; as things are, I think women generally better creatures than men. They have weaker appetites and weaker intellects but much stronger affections. A man with a bad heart has been sometimes saved by a strong head; but a corrupt woman is lost forever.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    Presumption is our natural and original malady. The most vulnerable and frail of all creatures is man, and at the same time the most arrogant.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
